Hopefully he'll come on the thread and discuss the extensive work he's had them do on various revolvers.Jungle Work

Cylinder & Slide does great work. Last time I talked with them they were 6 to 9 months behind.

Teddy Jacobsen is semi-retired but if you call him he may work on the gun if it has not been worked on by anyone else. His website is at:

He did a SP101 for me that is really great. Others that work on Rugers are:
Dave Clements: http://www.clementscustomguns.com/default.htm

Both Cylinder and Slide and Magnaport have 'smiths that are members of the American Pistolsmiths Guild. I have seen Dave Clements highly recommended by a number of people. I personally have NOT had any of the above except Teddy work on my Rugers.
For what it is worth I had a Security Six that was tuned 22 years ago (that unfortunately I do not have now). It responded quite well to tuning and Wolff makes a spring kit for the Six Series guns. The trigger return spring is a bit different than later Rugers but Wolff does make reduced power trigger return springs. I do not know if Bullseye still makes a spring kit for the Security Six.

The Ruger "six" line of revolvers are very easy to disassemble and work on. I bought the Wolf trigger spring and I get reduced power GP100 hammer springs (usually the 11lb or 12lb) and then just polish the internals with some Flitz and a felt bob on the Dremel. I have had great results this way for almost no $$$, compared to what a good 'smith would charge.
It is up to you, but my guess is you want a smoother trigger for carry or range work and are not trying to get a 100% super-sweet trigger for competition or something, so you may try the spring polish method yourself and save the $$$.

Thanks to all that replied. I should have added that I am a frequent customer of C&S but as several pointed out their turn times on revolvers is LONG right now, although they do have a deal where you can pay upfront for a place in line without actually sending in the pistol. I will try some of the other sources suggested.
